Why Invest in a Plunge Pool?

The growing interest in plunge pools can be attributed to a number of factors, including their versatility and affordability compared to traditional swimming pools.

Plunge pools are ideal for smaller backyards or outdoor areas with limited space, and their compact nature often leads to reduced purchase and installation costs, making them an attractive option for any budget. If you have the skills, you can even save further on labor costs through DIY installation.

Our plunge pools are not only visually appealing but also offer relaxation, stress relief, and hydrotherapy benefits. Our stunning designs provide the perfect outdoor centerpiece for intimate gatherings and social occasions with family and friends. Furthermore, the compact nature of a plunge pool results in less maintenance and upkeep, making them a convenient choice for busy homeowners. Additionally, plunge pools use less water and energy than their larger counterparts, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle.

Wet Edge plunge pools are custom manufactured offsite in our Melbourne factory, ensuring fast delivery for installations across Australia.

Considerations for Plunge Pool/Spa Location and Delivery

Wet Edge Plunge Pools does not handle delivery directly; however, we can assist in organising delivery for you or provide recommendations for transport fo your plunge pool. If you prefer, we can also offer a quote for managing the transport and delivery on your behalf. Simply discuss your preferred delivery method with us, and we will be happy to help.

When deciding on the installation location of your plunge pool on your property, consider the following factors:

  • Ground Level: Assess the ground’s levelness, and determine any necessary preparations prior to delivery
  • Ground Preparation: Establish what steps need to be taken, such as leveling or adding a foundation
  • Installation Style: Decide whether you want your plunge pool/spa fully in-ground, partially in-ground, or above ground, taking into account your landscape design
  • Access for Delivery: Evaluate the accessibility of the installation site for a delivery vehicle, and identify any potential obstacles that may need to be cleared prior to delivery
  • Delivery Logistics: Determine the appropriate size of the delivery truck and assess if a crane is required to lift the pool over any obstacles
  • Equipment Placement: Plan where to install the necessary plunge pool equipment, ensuring easy access and maintenance
  • Foundation Requirements: Ensure the ground is level and prepared with either a 100mm layer of compacted, crushed rock or a concrete slab. Note that an uneven foundation may cause the plunge pool to crack, voiding the warranty
  • Fencing: Plan the placement of fencing around the pool, adhering to safety regulations and your landscape design

The Wet Deck and Infinity Edge are two different styles of plunge pools. The Wet Deck has a concealed gutter around the edge of the pool where water spills into it. With the Infinity Edge, water flows over the edge of the pool into a gutter below.

At Wet Edge, we pre-tile all of our plunge pools to add that extra wow factor to the finish. You can choose from the 48mm ceramic tiles range from Klay Tiles or The Pool Tile Company to suit your personal style preference.

Fencing regulations in regard to plunge pools vary from state to state. In most states, fencing is not required if your pool is above 1.2m in height. We recommend contacting your local government agency to determine requirements for your local area.

We do offer heating options for your plunge pool. Our pools can be designed and built to accommodate heating if required.

Our plunge pools do not come equipped with in-floor cleaning systems. However, you can easily purchase a robotic cleaning system from any local pool and spa equipment store. 

We don’t provide a delivery service, but we can arrange the delivery for you. The cost of delivery will depend on the delivery location, the installation site, and the type of crane required to lift your plunge pool into place. We will provide you with all the necessary information to pass onto the crane company.

Building a deck around your plunge pool is possible. However, it’s important to ensure that your deck is not built directly on top of the pool walls and does not use the pool as part of its structure, as this will void your pool’s structural warranty.

Yes, a permit is required in every state of Australia for plunge pool installation. Check with your local government agency for specific regulations and requirements.

We highly recommend a soil test prior to installation. This will help you determine if your plunge pool should be placed on a concrete slab, or if 100mm crushed rock foundation is suitable.

Our plunge pools come with a 7-year structural warranty. This warranty will be void if your plunge pool is not installed on a level concrete slab or level and compacted 100mm crushed rock foundation.

A sloping block will not prevent a plunge pool installation. Work with an engineer and landscaper to design a pool area to best suit your sloped block.

We recommend installing your plunge pool on a pre-engineered concrete slab. However, if you have had a soil test and the ground is level and compacted with 100mm crushed rock, this can also be used as a base for your plunge pool. It’s important to note that any cracking caused by an uneven foundation will void the pool’s warranty.
